The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.
Judge not, that you be not judged; condemn not, that you be not condemned. Show to others the mercy you need yourself, and God will show mercy to you; the merciful to others' names shall find others merciful to theirs. Forgive, give liberally, and it shall be given back into your bosom.

Commenting on Luke 6:37-49
Christian perfection in this world is the imitation of Christ Jesus, being as your Master in suffering, in loving enemies, in prayer for those who persecute you. Every one that is perfect must be as his Master, there is no other way to completion.
AI summary
Christ is not speaking of perfection here but of resemblance; a disciple thoroughly fitted and suited to his calling will be formed after the example of his master. Nothing is more fitting for a learner than to take shape from the one he follows.
